A Critique Of Jurassic World Dominion - A Crime Against Humanity

Ойын-сауық

I have loved Jurassic park since i was 3 years old, the first movie I ever saw in theatres. And have spent years watching them try fail to recapture the magic of the first film and Jurassic world dominion is somehow the worse one yet, showing us even more ways to ruin this franchise. If you loved the first film...this movies hates you

    Hippos are overall some of the deadliest animals on the planet and there's probably more of them than the Dinosaurs in the Jurassic world I'd compare Dinosaurs to something like tigers that aren't that numerous and probably behave more similarly to a T-Rex Tigers kill less than 10 people a year and even when they were much more common the yearly death count was around 50

    Genuinely, one of the most depressing finales to a franchise ever. Not depressing like Logan, where the narrative earned its gut-punching moments, but depressing in the sense that this was meant to be a big grand finale, yet it felt like every single opportunity was wasted in favour of pointless and misguided adventure that lead no where by the end. Also great video btw

    I actually liked that they made the Therizinosaurus, the one you called deer slapper, aggressive. Media likes to portray herbivores as docile and not dangerous when that's far from the truth. Herbivores can be just as aggressive and dangerous as carnivores. In fact, many of the most dangerous animals on the planet are large herbivores. In addition, the Therizinosaurus was confirmed to be blind so it being aggressive is logical. Since it can't see or differentiate potential threats, it just attacks anything that gets near it. Essentially it's in, "I don't care what you are, I'm not taking any chances." mode.

    I like how they made the only aggressive herbivore look exactly like the carnivores, to the point where someone not paying attention would think it's only eating the remains of the deer. It's not like therizinosaurus wasn't unique, they just decided to remove most of its feathers and unique appearance to make it look more like a theropod, because only animals that look dangerous can be dangerous apparently.

    Then they proceeded to ruin an interesting concept by making the damn thing be where they needed it, when they needed it.

    @Leo the Yuty I do like the design. It's inaccurate as heck, but it looks cool. I kind of accepted that Jurassic Park and Hollywood, in general, are never going to portray dinosaurs as anything but scaly monsters. I mean, heck, the Pyroraptor has feathers and wings, yet it still has the inaccurate raptor design and size. That's why I'm happy for documentaries like Prehistoric Planet to try and bring a counter balance.

    Just to note: The dinosaurs not shaking the ground and making loud noises when they appeared is frankly more realistic. At that size you can't afford your prey knowing you're right behind it before it even sees you. In real life, Tyrannosaurus rex and other large predators probably had fatty padding on their feet to deaden their footsteps. It is inconsistent with the actual franchise though, and they never cared for paleontological accuracy to begin with lol.

    My biggest criticism is that everything in the Jurassic World Dominion was set up just so the legacy characters and the new characters could have a big meet up, in one of the most unlikely, convoluted ways imaginable. The most unbelievable part of it for me, is why Ellie & Alan(both old by this point) would want to sneak into a secure facility on the otherside of the world and obtain evidence, as if they're agents of espionage and not middle-aged paleo-scientists from rural America. I get that they might have legitimate concerns for the state of the world, but does anyone truly believe that Ellie Sattler & Alan Grant would resort to becoming spies as well as intentionally put themselves in grave danger??? They were both negatively-affected mentally(for several years, mind you) by their experience on Isla Nublar, why would Ellie & Alan decide to become thrillseeking whistleblowers all of a sudden? It felt ridiculously out of character and like something written for different characters from some other film. The whole "swarm of giant locusts" thing really irked me too because that is not at all something that has ever been seen in or associated with Jurassic Park. I was actually confused when I saw the farm scene because I honestly thought some M. Night Shaymalan film got switched on by mistake. Jurassic World Dominion was frankly, a weird & disappointing conclusion to the series.

    The Lost World gets way too much hate imo. The greedy new management aspect fits as a contrast to the story in the first one. Sure, the gymnastic kick is a bit silly, and bringing a t-rex to the city is questionable. But unlike the rest of the franchise, it treats the original characters with respect, the dinosaurs are still intimidating, and it's (at least for me) as entertaining as the first one.

It would take less time, and resources, be quieter, and less difficult and less messy to just put a round or two into the target instead... it's sooooooo dumb...

The fact it can camouflage itself shouldn't even be a factor. HISHE did a scene on this, it was actually kinda funny. I proposed that claire was an idiot and directly caused the indominus to escape for this very reason and someone suggested that there wasn't very good cell service due to the scene after when she's trying to warn them, I argued that that is even more incompetent of them if that is indeed the case that they'd construct the habitat for one of if not THE most dangerous dinosaur in the park outside of cell range, tf are these people thinking??!

And then avoids a stampede, falling volcanic rock and lava, jumps 100s of feet of a cliff. Avoids the dinosaurs rocks and lava and then rescues Claire. And somehow this entire film is worse.

    Hey a correction, the guy on the scooter @14:23 was a guy that won a fan competition to be in the film. Unfortunately covid travel restrictions prevented him from coming to the actual set so they just had him do something really generic on film, then green-screened him in. If covid restrictions were not in place he would have been flown out and filmed on set with better equipment. They didn't want to dishonor the agreement by excluding him so they did the best they could under the circumstances. While the movie was total garbage this one scene I think has a good excuse for being how it is.

    I'd say this was mostly spot on, but people give The Lost World too much shit a lot of the time. JP3's worst crime was only just that it had no reason to exist. I'll Give the first Jurassic World Credit for at least trying a "what if" if the Park had actually opened, and exploring Hybrid Dinos, which was previously only ever done in the toylines. But Fallen Kingdom and Dominion, just no excuses, they are insufferably and insultingly bad. Trying to Reunite Ellie and Grant, only it's too little too late, as Grant's arc in the first film was all about getting on board with having kids with Ellie, but that ship sailed as they're both far too old.

    Ironically, the point of the first one was to explore humanity's greed. John Hammond in the book is a ruthless, manipulative businessman who, by the end, is literally planning how to build the park again while the workers around him are clearing the detritus and bodies. It's only in the film where he's the kndly grandpa figure, which hugely detracts from the impact his character has in the book - a selfish, corporate sociopath obsessed with money at all costs.

    As an ecologist, the Jurassic World movies had me facepalming. It was a 180° whiplash from the first Jurassic Park movie's theme of "Yup, these dinosaurs are dangerous, and also they're a genetic mashup so it's not like they're the real deal! (not to mention the ecosystems of millions of years in the past, with their plants and fungi down to the symbiotic gut bacteria of the dinosaurs, no longer exist.) But suddenly it's "But these poor dinosaurs are _alive!_ So we have to protect them and treat them as threatened species" when in reality they're invasive megafauna that will utterly destroy global ecosystems (which are already under strain from 8 billion humans). Forget dinosaurs killing humans, who cares. The day the hippos go extinct due to T-Rex eating them will be catastrophic not just for African river systems but also for the fertility of the savannah around those river and all animals dependant on that. Hippos are a key species. Dinos who went extinct hundreds of millions of years ago in a totally different era are not.

The extended version made the film make MUCH more sense and also the books shed a lot of light on who Biosyn really is. They were the ones who convinced Nedry to sabotage the OG park. Dodgeson was the leading man in that regard. For those who didnt know already.

    Excellent critique, one of the best I've seen for this film. Can tell you love and respect the original Jurassic Park as much as I do. The screenwriters' lack of skill re: communicating themes and character is a MASSIVE issue with the three Jurassic World films, especially the last two, and you demonstrate this really well. And I love that you call them out - writers, directors, producers, the whole crew - for the disdain they show to the original premise and franchise as a whole! Only thing I would maybe disagree with is your take on John Hammond - I love his character too, but I feel he was definitely more selfish, profits-driven and calculating than you acknowledge; it just wasn't ALL he was, he had a sense of wonder and cared about people as well (the version of his character in the novel - not so much, haha). Dominion makes a fair point that Hammond and Lockwood COULD have used the genetic discoveries for more things beneficial to humanity than a dinosaur theme park...I'm just glad they didn't, 'cos I'm a big Jurassic Park fan. :D

A T. rex fighting a Giga or Spino in real life wouldn’t even be fair for those dinosaurs since both weren’t built to fight tanks. Also the franchise past The Lost World high key sucks. The Lost World was at least fun, and that gymnastics scene wasn’t the entire film like the rest of the films turned out.

    The problem - Hollywood thinks we want bigger and bigger. No. We want small, intimate and horrific. We want- a group of 20 people camping, who are terrorised by a group of velociraptors who have destroyed the tyres on their cars, and the rescuers can't get through due to a mudslide, for 24 hours.

    One of the driving points of the original story (both the novel and film) was the fact that certain species simply cannot coexist and that a world where dinosaurs & humans meet will ALWAYS end poorly because we will NEVER have control over these incredibly powerful forces of nature. We could stay away from them and hope they stay where they are, kill them, or they kill us. There was never meant to be a door #4 where they integrate into the wild kingdom and we just get used to it. There is no even quasi-realistic scenario where that could EVER happen in our world, which this franchise does take place in despite being fiction. It's fundamentally impossible, even if we suspend disbelief at the implausibility behind the dinosaurs' creation. And I guarantee you that at least some of the people working on this movie knew that full well. Suspension of disbelief is a necessary thing for stories like this going in, but it's NOT a blank check and never has been. There must always limitations when you make the decision to craft any mythos with at least some defined boundaries reflecting a level of reality. And Jurassic Park was ALWAYS intended as a semi-realistic scenario of "What if this actually happened, how would we react?" It was NOT a feel-good fantasy where anything goes with these animals and logic only matters when the plot decides it does. That whole approach on its face betrays what made Jurassic Park so compelling and yet frightening at its core. The only way Dominion could have potentially justified its existence was by demonstrating the consequences of dinos spreading into the world after decades of humanity's greed & arrogance leading them to repeatedly make the same mistakes. And then (GASP), we actually have to COMMIT to saving humanity by doing whatever it takes to make them extinct again. Not just locusts, not just carnivores, ALL of them. For as thoroughly poorly written as Fallen Kingdom was, at the very least, it served to set this up. Dominion's trailers set up audiences to perceive this as the consequences of every prior film coming to pass: "Humans and dinosaurs can't coexist. We created an ecological disaster. We're racing toward the extinction of our species. We not only lack dominion over nature. We're subordinate to it. We made a terrible mistake." The tone, dialogue, and visuals in the marketing all set audiences up to expect that the relationship between humans & genetically engineered beasts was coming to an end one way or another and only ONE SIDE would survive. That was no accident, and the marketers knew exactly what they were doing. Setting, manipulating, and selling expectations is their job. It was marketed as "the epic conclusion to the Jurassic era", a story about consequences with every character responsible for the current state of the world being forced to face what they've done as countless innocents are suffering for it. Dominion still wouldn't have been a worthy sequel even with this direction in my opinion, but this angle could've given it more impact. It could have given the film something to say that felt relevant to the original. But no. As with every entry since the 1993 classic, the studio wanted to have their cake and eat it too. They proved themselves to be exactly the kind of corporate suits Malcolm has criticized, more concerned with selling something than considering the ramifications of what they've made. It valued the spectacle of "Wow, dinosaurs, big action, toys, etc." (the mindset that contributed to Jurassic Park ending up the way it did in the first place) over what the story was about, denying a substantiative conclusion to this irreconcilable imbalance of nature by ending on a note of "This is just normal now, so we'll live with it!" and playing the triumphant/nostalgic music. This ending was anything but a triumph, nor was it in any way an ending to the franchise that would make any logical in-universe sense or thematically complement where it started. It was the cinematic equivalent of the creators & studios being so unwilling to make a commitment either way that they just put the Earth in the worst position it could be in and left it there. Even if humanity tried to coexist with these animals for a while, it will NEVER last. And we know this for a fact because literally everything in the series told us so. "Life finds a way." was NEVER intended to mean "We can't stop this now, so let's give up and make peace with it." What Ian meant, for those who paid attention, was "Nature will never submit to your desires." This was further solidified by Ellie's line of "You will NEVER have control! THAT'S the illusion!" We can argue "Well, that's the point, humanity never learns." But any writer worth their salt knows that, at a certain point, that's just a cop-out to justify milking a franchise while excusing increasingly lazy writing. It's a shield the creators hide behind to negate criticism. The reality is that the studio executives behind these movies didn't do what they've done to send a message about humanity being its own downfall. It wasn't about sending a message that we will never learn. It was a means to sell a product, pure and simple. And instead of admitting that, we keep giving money to it because escapism matters more to us than quality control. Remember when those weren't mutually exclusive, when more creators made the effort to find a balance between executing both to a well done result? Obviously, dumb, fun escapism has always existed but that's NOT what Jurassic Park was in the beginning. Unfortunately, our standards for storytelling have sunk so low that we not only praise this cash-grab IP assassination. There are fans who will relentlessly defend it, to the point of insisting that the originals were just as flawed. And what's more pitiable is, a number of these fans genuinely believe what they're saying. Or, part of them probably knows deep down that Jurassic Park peaked a long time ago but they'll die on the hill of defending this anyway because admitting what shlock the series turned into would make them feel bad. This is often the true motive behind saying "It's all subjective." It's another shield to hide behind that countless people will parrot ad nauseum because they're afraid to feel any negativity toward something they enjoy (as if that inherently equates to it being "ruined" for them, which I think is a childish mentality). It's like a generation of Joy duplicates from Inside Out, dopamine addicts who only care about feeling good. These individuals run toward pleasure and away from negativity, even when feeling negativity is necessary sometimes to be healthy or improve. They see less or no value in the art of storytelling, so long as they can turn their brains off for two-three hours. THIS is becoming the primary audience for entertainment, the audience every Jurassic Park sequel probably since The Lost World was made for. The studios cater to them for one main reason: Their money is easier to get. And that's sad.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the whole thing with the reveal of Maisy's mom in this film to retcon her from being a clone, to a full-on virgin birth scenario?? Why on earth they would go from a logical extension of the ethics of cloning, to parodying the virgin Mary is absolutely bizarre and makes no sense whatsoever in the film while simultaneously breaking continuity with the last.

    Lots of people are answering your question just by saying: “profit” or “money”, as if that’s all there is to it. And that really is all there is to it. Good art requires taking risks. Any movie that is good, is good at least in part because it did something new and different. Big movie studios that operate on billion-dollar franchises will consistently take the low-risk option. And low-risk means… no art.

    Its 2 things one is the attempt at easy profit. The big execs in charge believe the viewers will just mindlessly watch it because its (insert Ip here) movie, the other issue is that writers and people making these movies unironically believe theyre special and skilled enough that they can redo these stories better. This combined with the fact that the people who could and would care enough to say anything either put up with it to keep a paycheck or get bullied into submission for going against the status quo, leads to movies like this. Just look at how Henry Cavil was treated when he tried to give the Witcher some level of accuracy to the source material

    I like how you kept referring to the Chris Pratt character as "Star Lord". Because truthfully I don't even remember what his character's name in this film series was. 😂 To be honest, that's what I call Chris Pratt in ANY movie I see him in. I like him a lot and think he's a great actor, but so far the ONLY film he's in that has made any sort of lasting impression on me to where I actually remember and bond with the characters has been his _Guardians of the Galaxy_ franchise. 😕
